Did you know August is World Breastfeeding Month? As I’ve written before, I had a difficult time breastfeeding Big A. Without my handy pump and the ability to feed her through a bottle, she wouldn’t have gotten breast milk her first year — and eventually learn to breastfeed on her own.
Even though Little D was a natural “breastfeeder,” I had to return to work when he was 3 months. So, again, I was faced with the need to pump and bottle-feed my baby at least part of the time. The reality is that in today’s world, feeding milk through a bottle is often needed to keep breastfeeding alive.
The folks at Avent contacted me about their new bottle designed for infants to feed as close to breast as possible — making it easier to combine bottle and breastfeeding. I remember how frantically I searched for the right nipple with Big A and thought some of you would want to know about this product.
Here are some of the new bottle’s features:
Natural Latch-On: Wide ‘breast-like’ shape makes it easy to latch-on
Unique Comfort Petals inside nipple increase softness and flexibility without collapse. Extra soft, flexible nipple mimics mom’s real breast
Advanced Anti-Colic System: Innovative twin valve design allows air into the bottle – not baby’s tummy
The bottles are available in glass, as well as polypropylene, a BPA free material. The ergonomic shape makes it easy to hold and it is interchangeable with most Philips AVENT feeding products. Fewer parts make it simple to use and easy to clean.
Of course, it’s beneficial to establish a breastfeeding relationship before introducing the bottle but there also may be times a mom needs to supplement early. The good folks at Avent are offering to give away two of their brand new bottles along with a $25 Target gift card. Here’s what you need to do to enter the giveaway:
1) Mandatory entry: Leave a comment saying why you want to win (you don’t have to be pregnant or with a baby, could be a gift)
2) For a second entry, LIKE the AVENT Facebook page and leave another comment saying what you did.
3) For a third entry, LIKE Fearless Feeding on Facebook and leave another comment.
4) For one final entry you can tweet using #PhilipsAvent or “like” this post. Leave another comment as each one increases your chance of winning.
The giveaway will last until next Wednesday, the 15th at midnight. The winner will be chosen from random.org and announced on Raise Healthy Eaters’ Facebook page.

I’d ove to try on this new avent, coz my 3 month old daughter suddenly had nipple confusion. Ive been using the avent regular bottles for the past months and breastfeeding as well and.there was no problem, but lately my daughter prefers breastfeeding and wouldnt drink from her bottle!I think this new product wull be the solution for her preference since this one is closer to breastfeeding. Thanks
I want to win because my sister just had a baby and I would give this to her.

I am 7 month pregnant and heard a lot of great things about Avent bottles.
My current Avent bottles were a lifesaver when my 5 week-old had issues with BF. I’d love to have him try out the new Avent bottle!
I am due with my 3rd child and have breastfed both children. I was never able to get either of my kids to take a bottle and really need this child to. Many of my friends have recommended Avent so I would be eager to try them.

I’m expecting our first in October. I’m planning on breastfeeding and I wanted a bottle for an occasional feeding that would work well with breastfeeding. I’ve heard lots of good things about Avent, but I wanted a glass bottle. I really like that this new bottle seems to be thoughtfully designed with breastfeeding in mind, has an option for glass, and they don’t have a ton of parts!
